Hangin’ Tough – The Commitment Issue

Research shows that on average people hold their New Year’s resolutions for 3 weeks and only 8% of people actually achieve them when it comes to the following year.

Based on that (uplifting) bit of data, we thought you might need some inspiration as your 2016 resolve starts to wane towards the end of January. There’s a reason it’s called Blue Monday! So welcome welcome to The Commitment Issue – or Hangin’ Tough (in the words of every tween girl’s 80s fantasy NKOTB).

We have some very inspiring women and men for you in this issue. Women and men who have held their resolve, worked hard and accomplished some amazing things…

We talk to the incredibly talented Sarah Howe, winner of the 2015 T S Eliot Prize and the 2015 Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award about her debut collection of poems, Loop of Jade, what inspires her, defining poetry and ‘relevance’.

A Woman’s War combines the intricacies of high end wartime fashion with the surrealist and fractured life of beautiful model turned photographer, Lee Miller. An engrossing combination of fashion, female empowerment, wartime reality and political and social commentary.
